    im sick of them forcing it upon us, headlining and being high up on cards and pretending katie taylor is a superstar. sky commentary 'the crowd are going wild for katie taylor'

    *silence in the arena*

    womens boxing ****ing sucks, 'peroid'. as the yanks would say.

      It just doesnt have the same intensity.
      ... you're watching the wrong fights, doe...

      (Alicia Napoleon Espinosa vs Elin Cederroos was a very good fight... Now: just watch Alejandra Jimenez vs Franchon Crews Dezurn TONIGHT!...)...

        25% of them are good fights. The other 75% look like their opponents were selected from a random "boot camp" or "box fit" class and asked "Would you like to make $500 tonight?"

          Here's my advice. If you want to be excited, you should not be watching Claressa Shields. She's the Erislandy Lara of women's boxing. I thought everyone knew that.

                Women's boxing is the only category Espinoza Showtime is in full control of.
                And it's cheaper.
                He's probably tired of getting showcase fights from Haymon.

                  Damn, did you not watch the earlier fight... Cederoos vs Espinosa? Or Taylor vs Persoon last year?

                  Sure, even at the top level between well matched chicks they ain't gonna be as skilled or deadly as the men, but the best match ups can have every bit the drama. I won't kid you though - I'm a supporter of the women's sport and I will acknowledge that most of the fights don't do that much for me... but there are some gems.

                  Last night's fight was a just horrible mismatch with Habazin literally just fighting to survive for almost the entire 20 mins... don't judge 'em all by that.

                  Hell, if you're watching tonight El Tigre vs Crew Dezurn promises to be a much better fight than Shields vs Habazin, and I think it'll be on right before Jaime vs Spike.

                    Women boxing does NOTHING for me. although MMA female fighting is more entertaining
                    I agree, it lacks intensity and quality. Top level male amateurs are definitely a higher standard. For instance I’d take the Harvey Lambert or Mark ****inson to beat Claressa Shields easily. (ABA champions at 69kg and 75kg)

                    I have a tonne of respect for any woman who fights amateur or professional but they are simply not at a high enough level.

Am's are this exact same way in the early heats so if you are well versed in the am's or gg's you would've sat through plenty worse fights than this...just saying..but keep on keeping on man.
                      I have two active kids i train in the Ams right now. Well aware of how it is. I just dont find women boxing interesting. There is a reason why its never blown up.

                      Youre correct. I have sat through way worst fights. In the Ams and the GGs. But i also know the level i am on also. When im watching AMs or GGs I know the quality and performance im getting and why. But when im watching a so called PRO and someone who calls them self the greatest lol i expect more.

                      And ive seen WAY better skill at that level also. First time setting a record of quickest to achieve blah blah blah,....means nothing. Its women Boxing. It is what it is.
